20 hrs confidence: | slechts de eigenaren van schotschietend huizen en ploeggangen only those enjoying political rights derived from property ownership
Explanation:
I think it is necessary to expand the target term to show that the issue is political rights and not taxation and to include the reference to ownership of "ploeggangen", which gave specific rights to judge. The goverment would not accept the ecclesiastical principles of the reformed church making them autonomous.
